By McKenna Snow, Catholic Vote - A new actor has been cast to play Jesus in the 2027 two-part film The Resurrection of the Christ, Mel Gibson’s long-awaited sequel to the 2004 movie The Passion of the Christ, according to Variety... Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen, 36, will be stepping into the lead role, replacing Jim Caviezel, who portrayed Jesus in the first movie... The reason for the changes is reportedly due to expenses... Variety reported that a source close to the production told the outlet that the studio would have had to digitally de-age people’s faces in the sequel, which “would have been very costly.”
